Luther College

This program is best suited for students who:

"want a challenging curriculum that includes core courses, electives, and performing opportunities."

What sets this program apart from others is:

"you will study music within the context of the liberal arts."

Students who graduate from this program go on to:

"music education, conducting, opera, music history, composition, jazz, performance."

The three words that best describe this school's environment are:

"creative, supportive, committed."

The Music Department is dedicated to providing an educational experience of the first rank, training that will prepare students for a lifetime of involvement in music, as teachers, performing artists, church musicians, arts administrators, composers, or community volunteers.

Our work is informed by an unswerving commitment to the liberal arts, intellectual rigor, a spirit of free inquiry, and the highest standards of teaching and learning. As educators and musicians, we affirm the vital importance of discipline and inspiration, and we recognize as a moral imperative our responsibility to educate the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. In all that we seek to do, we honor and affirm the transcendent, spiritual, transforming power of music and of education.
